The wedding’s palette was a masterclass in elegance and Mediterranean vibrance. For the ceremony, the design embraced timeless tones of Aegean blue and crisp white—a direct nod to the iconic Greek island landscape of Paros. As the day unfolded into the evening, the palette transitioned into an ethereal spectrum of pinks—from the softest blush to bold fuchsia—bringing warmth, romance, and a modern touch to the reception setting. This dynamic use of color served as the perfect foundation for a stylish, joy-filled destination wedding in Greece.

This Paros Island wedding was the embodiment of modern island chic. The overall vision was rooted in contemporary sophistication, seamlessly fused with the effortless charm of Greek island life. The couple wanted their guests to feel immersed in the sun-drenched ease of the Cyclades while surrounded by elevated, carefully curated design details. From the color story to the bespoke elements at each guest’s seat, every decision reflected a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. The design language played with clean geometry and thoughtful contrasts—elegant lines met soft blooms, and traditional textures mingled with modern silhouettes. The result was a destination wedding aesthetic that felt luxurious, stylish, and deeply personal.

Proposal Story by the bride, ‘Iliana’ herself: The proposal took place during a romantic dinner in enchanting Florence. What made it truly special was a video the groom had prepared, featuring photos from the previous days of their trip. The video ended with a photo of the engagement ring, since, with a touch of humor, he had accidentally left the actual ring back at the hotel!
